the pro am. the team would share the pro am title. then snedeker on 18. this is the par putt. he sinks it. his first win of the season. his wife mannedi along with his wife gives out a great start for 2013. >> it's a huge relief. i guess i got lucky that tiger woods and phil miguelson were not there today. a beautiful day like this at pebble beach. to play in great condition like. this playing with a good friend of mine to be able to win this is really special. >> and the cal men's basketball team is on the road taking on seventh ranked arizona. cal currently up 3 points almost halfway through. this is a big deal. this is the second top ten ranked team they've faced in the last three games and they have lost their last three to arizona. they would certainly like to get away from the desert with the win. so go bears. >> go baerd is right.
